Let’s mix a cup of science with a dash of art and add some sprinkles of fun to create delicious cupcakes and mini cakes! In this camp you will learn about the chemistry of baking ingredients, how they each have a unique role in your recipe, and how you can use your creativity to make your product unique. All of this while getting to taste your creations!!!
